External HD FAIL, again …
December 12, 2009 by Reboot · Leave a Comment
This, unfortunately, is not the first time an external HD from Western Digital has let me down. But I can’t get a grasp on why this darn thing is failing. The weird part is that it is passing the diagnostic tests. However if I attempt to transfer a large file from it, it freezes. It also grinds to a halt when I perform a thorough check-disk (i.e. “chkdsk g: /r“).
Any thoughts on why this problem occurs is greatly appreciated.
